v2 Chapter 5： : Akagi's problem

The first game: 7 points!

Second game: 6 points!

At the end of the two rounds, the old players from Akagi Middle School had a 13-point lead.

The situation is very good, it seems that Akagi's attack power has indeed increased, and the little friends are playing very well.

In the corner, Sawamura and Fengxiang frowned secretly.

After more than a year of hard training, Akagi's current strike strength has indeed strengthened. At the very least, the elementary school students who had just entered middle school were not given strikeouts. Even if they were resolved, everyone would have hit the ball.

After that, the first-year players who came from the junior club began to show their strength. Also successfully fielded a few times, allowing the second pitcher to take a breather.

Although Sawamura smiled on the surface, he was a little disappointed in his heart.

A total of thirteen points, including him, the top four got a full ten. The other five people only scored three points in two rounds.

The three of Sawamura, Oda, and Fengxiang have reached a certain level of attack power. In just over half a year, they could not make a reborn progress.

In the past six months or so, Yamaguchi Ken has grown completely reborn, and his attacking power has skyrocketed. Now it seems to be Akagi Middle School, second only to the batters of Sawamura and Fengxiang. Other than that, just speaking of his striking strength, he has now faintly surpassed it. Oda Benson, who used to be a junior in Nagano and played for a few years, is now.

"Did we pay too much attention to the training of defense before?"

Feng Xiangao questioned for a while.

The most important advantage of the Akagi Middle School baseball team is the defense with Sawamura as the core. Through last summer's game, the little friends of the Akagi Middle School baseball team have clearly realized their own shortcomings. Fortunately, they did not choose to escape because of their incompetence, but immediately started special training.

By the time the autumn competition started, the defense of the Akagi Middle School baseball team had already begun to take shape.

Especially the garrison formed by the infield of Akagi Middle School, with the growth of the third base Yamaguchi, the second base Nakagawa, and the shortstop Fengliang Zhengtai. Although the current Akagi Middle School's defense is not strong, it is definitely not weak.

With a qualified defense force and Sawamura's pitching, the current Akagi Junior High School, in terms of defense, is definitely not under the three kings of Nagano Prefecture.

But even the current Akagi Middle School baseball team still has an irreparable flaw compared to the three kings.

That is their striking power!

The lack of defense of the friends, Sawamura can make up for it with his superb pitching. However, their lack of combat power cannot be solved by Sawamura alone.

"There is no way to do this. Fighting is not something that can be achieved by training overnight. Besides, everyone's talents are different, and some people are suitable for fighting."

Saying that, Sawamura glanced at Yamaguchi subconsciously.

To be honest, Yamaguchi's progress surprised Sawamura. In the memory of Sawamura's previous life, Yamaguchi's fighting strength is also good, and he is the core hitter in the team.

But even so, Yamaguchi never showed his talent like today. In just one year, Oda, who has been able to catch up in hitting, has practiced baseball for several years.

If you simply say that in Nagano Prefecture, Yamaguchi is already a very powerful player.

In this way, Sawamura could only comfort himself. In the previous life, Akagi Middle School did not receive formal instruction. But now it's different. Now Akagi Middle School has at least two professional instructors.

Sawamura himself and Fengxiang Ouichi.

They have professional baseball experience and have been rolling and crawling in baseball for 20 years. One of the most formal urban youth clubs in Nagano Prefecture studied for several years.

Although neither of them has ever been a regular coach, it is enough to instruct the baseball rookies like Akagi Middle School who don't know anything.

"And ordinary people may not have such a great talent for attacking."

Akagi Middle School's friends, except for Yamaguchi, all performed mediocre in combat.

Although Akagi Middle School has mainly practiced defense and passing the ball for the past six months. But they never stopped swinging the bat. They swung the bat a hundred times a day without interruption.

Plus Sawamura's feed.

The little friends of Akagi Middle School have definitely received a lot of training, but their strike strength has not grown to the level that Sawamura expected.

In fact, Sawamura's heart is very clear. It's not that the little friends are progressing slowly, but that his own heart is too anxious. In one year, the blows of the little friends have grown a lot. It's just that their growth is still far behind the players from both Tenryuji and Nagano.

Whether it is Tenryuji Middle School or Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, most of their players are directly imported from the junior baseball, and the hitting strength of their players is naturally not comparable to those of Akagi Middle School who have just practiced baseball for a year. of.

To put it bluntly, even if there is a super pitcher like Sawamura, the overall strength of Akagi Middle School is still not comparable to that of Tenryuji Middle School.

This point, UU reading Sawamura is not surprised at all. After all, the practice time of the little friends is still very short. If you want to achieve real results, it will take two or three years to be possible.

They are only in the second grade now, and they still have a full year and a half to go. The problem is that they have time, but Fengxiang and Oda don't have that much time. They only have time for the second half of the year, and this summer competition has become their last competition.

Twice a year National Competition, Wenchen Cup and Summer Competition. There is no limit to the grades of the players in the summer competition, but the Wenchen Cup is only limited to the first and second grades.

In other words, Fengxiang Ouichi and Oda, who are already in the third grade, are not eligible to participate in the national preliminaries of this year's Wenchen Cup.

With the current strength of the Akagi Middle School baseball team, it is still very difficult to enter the national competition!

Sawamura sighed in his heart, and then had different expectations for this match with the freshman.

Since it is inevitable to recruit new members, at this time Sawamura still hopes to find a few batters who can come in handy from the freshmen.

No need to ask about the result, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

I don't know if Sawamura Eijun's pitching is too good, or if there really isn't any guy in the freshmen who can come in handy.

In short, after the four innings, Sawamura did not see any batter who could touch his ball.

After all, they are all elementary school students who have just graduated from elementary school. If Sawamura was kicked out by them, then Sawamura could really buy a piece of tofu and kill him.

5 points in three innings, only three points in four innings.

The total score, 21:0.

It seems that the old school team has an overwhelming advantage.

But it's not the case. In the fourth inning of the game, 90% of the freshmen who stayed on the court were from junior clubs.
